1 silver elongated circular. Came toward witnesses and then hovered and then flew away.. "When I Was A Child I Spent My Summers With My Grandparents On Monaca, Pa. This Particular Summer, I Was 8 Or 10, I Went To Spend The Night With A Friend (Similar Age) Who Lived Down The Street From My Grandparents. It Was July 4Th And We Were Camping In His Back Yard In A Very Residential Area 5 Miles From The Ohio River. We Watched The Fireworks On The River Which We Could See Just Over The Tree Line At The Rear Of The Yard. The Fireworks Started Late, 9 Or 10 Pm And We Were Lying On Our Bellies In The Tent With Our Heads Sticking Out Watching The Fireworks When My Friend Noticed A Light Hovering Not Far From The Fireworks. It Looked Like A Helicopter Hovering There Just Watching. We Thought It Was A News Copter Getting Footage Of The Night'S Fireworks For The Late Night News. Over 5 Minutes It Slowly Moved Toward Us, Making No Sound And Not More Than 500 Feet Above Us. When It Reached Our Position It Stopped Mid-Air. It Was Circular, But Elongated A Bit. Gray, Flat On The Bottom, Rounded On The Top, With Multi-Colored Lights Which Circled The Bottom And A Window That Wrapped Around The Front Which Showed Light From Inside. After 30 Seconds Of Hovering We Saw A Figure Move From Inside To The Window, Glancing Down To Our Position. It Was Only A Shadow Though And We Couldn'T Make Out Anymore. Both Of Us Just Lay There Staring At It When It Suddenly Shot Straight Up To The Clouds And Then Moved Off At A Great Speed Away From The Fireworks. We Both Ran Inside To Tell My Friend'S Parents We Had Just Seen A Ufo, But They Didn'T Believe Us. I Was Just A Kid, And At That Time We Just Though It Was "Cool." We Didn'T Know It Was Something Out Of The Ordinary. I Don'T Recall Any "Missing Time" Though There Easily Could Have Been As We Were Both Alone In The Back Yard And It Was Late At Night. I Don'T Recall Anyone Trying To Explain To Us What It Was. I Don'T Recall Anyone Saying They Saw The Same Thing. I'M Not Sure What It Was, But It Definitely Was Something I Had Never Seen And Have Yet To See Since.
